Notes: Seward Family Cemetery is located on Ashley Dr. off of CR-540A 
in Highland City, FL. It is in the gated sub-division of Ashley Community.
The cemetery was in bad shape before the developer started construction.
It is now enclosed by a concrete block wall and the headstones are not visible 
from the road anymore. It has a iron gate that is locked by a key. Once the 
community is established I am sure that any person interested in visiting
this grave will have to notify a home owners association. It is recorded on
the Plat Map by the city. There is a picture of Mr. Seward in the
Highland City post office off of Clubhouse Rd. I do have pictures of the
before and after conditions of this cemetery if anyone is interested. It is 
also thought that his wife is buried here too.

Comment on Headstone: There are two plates that are missing on this 
headstone. They very well might be in the base and had just fallen through.
